Series: From Marx to Hamas — How Ideas Became Weapons

Episode 2: When Marxism Met Islamism


What happens when godless Marxism merges with jihadist Islamism?

You get a global movement that justifies terror in the name of “liberation.”


In this episode, Igal unpacks how far-left theory and radical religion found common ground — not in values, but in shared hatred of the West, America, and Israel.


In under five minutes:

• How Marxist “oppressor vs. oppressed” ideology gave Islamists a PR makeover

• How the Soviet Union weaponized the Palestinian cause

• Why Western universities now echo Hamas talking points


This is the story of how ideas became weapons — and how theory became cover for barbarism.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
